Tie a float around the pond end of the pipe so you can find it easier. Also a screen around the end will keep out the bigger contaminates. Very exciting find
@@benny1975 They are living our dreams. (i know it's not all as romantic as presented in the videos and the winters are cold and the summers are very hot there.) I applaud them for having the guts to leave stuff behind and take such step in life and trying to do the good thing.
I've wondered what the large ruin actually was intended as. Next to the pipe it appears there is a water trough, so maybe for (dairy) cattle or (less likely) goats?
I can see Julie in 3 to 5 years time heading up her own project Kamp, as she seems to be an all round individual, clearly administrated to all roles thrown her way.
If you put ceramic fiber cloth around the door and the chimney on the pizza oven, it'll take up the expansion of the metal rather than it fracturing the clay
I've got corporate job that recently got very hard and I'm stressed that I might loose my job and I won't be able to support my family. Somehow those videos let me get rid of the tension. There's something about building everything from scratch, community that makes me believe that even if I got fired I'll be able to make it. Thank you for that.
Hey I’m sending good thoughts, that sounds really tough, I hope you can find a way to look after yourself and let your family support you as much as you’re supporting them, I hope things turn around!
You should put a filter box inside the lake, ideally floating just below the surface (so it picks up neither sediment nor surface grime) with a valve right next to the pond, so that you can open and close the valve without having to get wet. This also gives you a very easy spot to tie into in case you ever add another source of water (like a second pond)
For the rope that you use in the end for the bridge : If you put the whole rope in water (for like 15-30 min.)before making the bonding, it will be stronger afterwards and more durable. The reason herefore is: If it is wet the rope gets loose. When you bond it while it is wet, the rope can dry after you finished and the bonding will be even stronger, even If it rains. (I commenly use this for benches, or similar things where you dont need nails or bolts, in German Forrests for hikers & Tourists)
In English (at least in my area) we call this technique 'lashing.' I lashed some wild cane together to make a really nice privacy screen in a very similar way to how you all put the bridge together. Love watching your material!
They're ceramic so they tend to shatter in such a way that you get some sharp pieces, might be more trouble than it's worth with all the people in sandals and the like.
@@chriskieta8725 They aren't ceramic, they are terra cotta which doesn't break with the same sharp edges as ceramic. Terracotta is fired at a much lower temperature than ceramic, it isn't vitrified which is what gives ceramics sharper edges when broken.
@@r3fuG4d0 True that. With so much fertile land, and looking at the farms of neighbours, I would expect by this season to see more planting, farming, harvesting of vegetables, corn, and so on...
I don't see anyone saying this but in my humble opinion the filming and editing is superb this season! On the other note i want to say Julie is the mvp and Jules is great hope to see him again. Can't wait for the digger !!!!!!
Hey good people, I have a couple of suggestions for you. Since you have a lot of firewood, I think it would be good to make a rocket stove for cooking. It consumes little fuel and gives a good temperature, it can even be with an oven. You can use the material for it you can also find it at a place where metal is recycled. And for heating water, you can make a couple of solar collectors, for example from old refrigerators. Greetings from Serbia✌️
Yes, rocket stoves for tea, coffee, cooking every time, quick and efficient. For showers, larger quantities etc, I made a short narrow trench and lit a very small fire there, long sticks poking out, push/pull for more/less heat. Stand a big metal dustbin across the trench in the morning, fill with hose water, and soon you'll have the equivalent of a domestic hot water cylinder running all day. Insulate at night. Minimal effort. Just dip a bucket when you need some. No unsightly plastic.
you should get a metal detector and search the land, maybe some pipe, maybe some old treasure, for the pipe in the lake attach the head to an old boe so its easy to pick up
That lake-pipe stuff was really cool. Potentially very useful in the future. This is the most extreme way of recycling. Not only above the ground bus also underneath. I very much enjoy your videos every time. Keep up the good work. You all have the guts to leave your normal life behind and live and build your dream. impressive.
Julie has a fantastic attitude to any job just jump in and have a go. a real star learning a new language prickly bushes is now on my list 😅 I’ve watched all your videos 😊
The ditch to keep the water away from the path is functionally going against the concept of the swale slowing and capturing water. You will end up with erosion there, causing issues to that apple tree. If you wish to keep the ditch, fill it with a gravel-like material -or more woodchips - to slow the water.
The pizza oven and it's update with new compartments is so charming 😂 watching this community putting so much love into improving things makes me so happy
You guys should look into putting in "natural swimming pool" type water circulation and filtration systems in the lake/pond. Gonna be a crazy mosquito breeding place if not eh.
some recommendations: 1. Pizza owen - use different ratio of sand to the clay. Use for next time also liquid glass to the mixture for more durability. You can use fiber glass to fix broken area or chicken wire under plasters. But crack which you opened must be also bended on sides between crack sides ( inside plaster). If you want better quality of plasters use several layers and keep them dry first between every of other layers. Best idea for fixing is put chicken wire on the top and put layer of plaster again and on the top optional is broken roof tiles or bathroom tiles like decoration and for streangth. In the connection area of the owen and chimney you miss the connection piece. it has connection piece in the middle wider aprox 2-3 cm all around. it will fix the chimney pipe and also there is fire proof rope on lower part which fill gaps. and last think add the piece of the metal on the top of the door frame to keep smoke out of clay and go directly up not touching owen from outside. 2. the paths are nice, but is better to put wood pieces to lindseed oil, especially parts which will be under the ground and aprox 5 cm on the top of ground. the closer wood is to the ground faster rotten will be. Better is to charing it in the fire. Charcoal make it water proof and more durrable. And last thing, good is that the bridge is on the stones, but better will be charing that parts because they will be most of the year wet where are connections. Lindseed oil is good also like preservation, but better before construction than after. Especially the rope will not last long like this. better to put rope inside lindseed oil, squeez it and after do work for next time. The moisture will destroy rope fast.
What a great video! I loved every minute of it and wished it were longer. Editing is outstanding this season, and the Kampers introducing themselves is good to see.
The Pipe diving with Julie and Dave was hilarious!😂🤣👍👍I just always look forward to all the New unexpexted Tasks. You All are an Inspiration to humanity. God Bless🙏🙏
Olá, vou escrever em Português e se não conseguirem entender podem fazer a tradução no Google, uma solução para o FORNO A LENHA; Coloquem rede de galinheiro á volta do forno e depois reboquem com cimento de preferência cimento que resista a altas temperaturas a seguir ponderem construir uma parede em volta do forno e encherem de areia. Porquê? . A rede irá dar mais coesão á parede do forno e a areia irá manter o forno protegido do frio externo que o faz estalar e também manter a temperatura mais tempo. Resultado: FORNO EFICAZ e DURÁVEL senão irá estar sempre a acontecer o mesmo, inclusive a fornos novos. BOM E ISSO FUNCIONA?! . Bem, tenho o mesmo forno á 30 ANOS!
This looks incredibly fun, the work to find the water pipes, this is just my kind of outside work!!! Adventurous, messy and a celebratory when you succeed :D
The stuff with the ropes/strings and sticks is called "lashing" in english. Also add a hand rail to the bridge please! It'll help you use it when you're tired or its dark outside!
Great video quality to the editor! Love the path making. As someone with a lot of mixed mobility friends, I'd like to see what solutions you can add in long term for extra accessibility. After all, long term community building means addressing the needs of the elderly too
Good job on refurbishing the pizza oven! I'm a little worried about the paint on the oven door, as you painted it (on the inside). it may release toxic chemicals when baking. which is not ideal for your bread and pizzas.
You might want to store your bowls upside down on the shelf, so that no mice fall into it or bugs or dust. Then all you have to do is give the bowl a quick wipe when you want to use it.
That's enough pressure for a microhydro system. You could be generating 1-2kwh continuously with that water for sure, out of a recycled washing machine or any number of recycled parts.
Yes, Lashing. That specific starting knot is commonly called a Clove Hitch in English. There was actually no need for all those dowels, as proper lashing will do the job just fine. Good video!
I just love all the different accents and the positive personalities! I'm addicted to your channel after binge watching everything. Could you put people's name when they first appear on the screen?
Bonjour. Suggestion pour la prise d’eau. Récupérez dans une déchetterie un tambour de lave-linge et placez-y le tuyau d’eau. Soit en y perçant un trou, soit directement par la porte du dessus ou la petite du dessous et vous obturez l’excédent. Facile, inoxydable, gratuit. Cela évite l’absorption de macro déchets, empêche l’obturation, facilite le repérage. Un coup de brosse de temps en temps et vous avez un captage opérationnel. Bon courage pour la suite. Daniel
It looked nice, but those stairs are a bit impractical with wheeled tools like but not limited to wheelbarrows (already shown in the video). And I wonder how long that rope in the bridge will last, especially in the middle.
Those steps look fine, much better than the slippery slope. Good job at fixing the oven for this season! I still think building a new pizza/bread oven next to fixing the old one was the best solution. 2 ovens! More pizza, more bread and more dry working/hanging out places for the increased number of campers during the summer.
Those pipes could serve as a nice overflow/irrigation system. Make some swales or something at the outflows and you could control the exesss waterflow in the property. If they are in good shape you could start planning a whole irrigation system around the pond and the connecting pipes. Great way to distribute water and get some valuable plants growing near/around the outlets. And for the oven maybe you could try pouring some clay slurry in to the new cracks. If they are too wide all the way thru maybe put some of the "cement" on the inside. I don't know for sure tho. I have never worked with clay ovens like this 😅 All in all I love the projekt and all the videos. I truly hope you make this thrive.
Special hero merch suggestion: 'Julie celebrating with snorkel' T shirt and any other 'Go Julie!' prints. Thank you. (And then when you show it to her, you can make a viral second line of 'Embarrassed but happy Julie' prints!)
hey guys, a small idea to prevent you guys to search for the pipe in the pond if you can tie a floating "bidon" (Dutch) with a rope; you can just follow the rope and find the tube. and if you tie the bidon big enough with enough length of rope and closer to the end, it should provide you a bit more controlled water, since floating bidon help pipe to float closer to the surface, not to the bottom hope it works!
Place the ends of the bridge upon rocks, then it won’t rot so fast. Notching the cross beams will make it more stable. Glad someone got around to making bridges though
Hi! There is a lot of pressure. You could be interested in some "ram pump". I use it for gardening almost 3yrs. The first prototype of the ram pump invented at my country was about year 1920. Pretty clever and easy solution how to transport water even above the level of the pond. Use just kynetict energy of water itself 😊 Hope to see some project about it in the future 😉
This was one of my favourite updates. Idk if it was not only finnaly finding the pipes or seeing them absolutely overflow woth water or poor julie in the water 😂 but i think it will be great having water acess to the ruins and help with the defense of the wildfires
I must admit, I much prefer the videos that are most focused on the original members of project camp. They have a more realistic outlook and down to earth vibe that the new comers and temporary visitors do not have. Not to say I dislike the enthusiasm of newcomers, but the grit and realism it takes to last through winters and hard times while living minimally build up character Much love, from my 0.8acres is wales, we have alot in common 😉
That knot that Collette was demonstrating with the construction of the Bridge, in English (Anglais....for Collette..LOL) is called a "Clove Hitch". It is one of the many basic knots that you learn in the "Boy Scouts" movement.
You'll most likely regret that trench as the water over time will slowly erode till it's a large trench.. Same was done on my driveway about 20 years ago. I've had to move the driveway over, also had to have 3, 12.5 ton Dump trucks of gravel to bring the driveway back to a decent height and at least 20 tons of dirt to fill the trench which once was like yours.. Best method for moving water is to put in 'speed bumps'. Dirt swails that direct the water across the land instead of funnelling it.
Water dowsing (aka witching, or divination) is pretty easy and might help find underground pipes. I did it to find the water pipe from my well to my house a few years ago when there was an underground leak. It can also be used to find underground electrical wires. I used 2 pieces of metal coat hangers bent into an L shape, but there are other ways to do it. I bet someone in camp kamp can figure it out if no one knows already. Or one of your neighbors can probably do it. There are also several devices that can find them, but they can be expensive.
If you tie a float to the pond-end of the pipe it will be easier to find. It will also keep it elevated from the bottom of the pond to make sure it doesn't get clogged with mud at the bottom!
pattage would be lashing i believe. most common use would have been to secure 3 poles to make a tripod. thanks for the vids..you will probably want to isolate your water inlet somthing like run it into the bottom of a barrel and screen the open top of it to keep it from clogging a valve at the top would also be a good idea.
